Please tell me it'll be okay

[glasshill]

I'm leaving my husband of 25 years and taking the children: a planned escape after 25 years of abuse. I go on Monday. Please tell me it will be okay. I wasn't built to be on my own and I'm so worried about what the future holds.

And don't forget: MN is always here if you have questions or need a chat.

Yippee well done. You'll be dancing barefoot in the park before you know it

Glass that is the most fabulous news

I know I'm a stranger on the internet but I'm so bloody proud of you. This is the beginning of the rest of your life

It will be okay glass. IME when the relationship gets bad enough, being on your own is far better. It was for me. (And I'm not on my own now. I was for a couple of years. But I thought to myself, "If I'm on my own forever, that would be better than this marriage")

Well done OP.
The freedom you feel must be great.
You will have wobbles and down days.
Just come on here for support.
Here's to your new, abuse free life!!!

Make sure no one in your house sees this thread! But you will be more than ok, you'll just kick yourself for not doing it sooner :) xx

Sorry having looked at the dates here my post should have read....how's it all going OP? Xx

Fantastic news xx

Wow, well done for finally being strong enough to leave. You'll be fine. Just imagine how proud you'll feel once you're out and free for the first time in 25 years! Best of luck !!
